Wow, not a care in the world. College days flying off to San Juan for a Chemical Engineering conference, I knew there was a reason I ran for office in AICHE. I did have to buy Magan's ticket and I think we stayed one extra night in the hotel, so there was some expense, but not much for these crazy college married kids. We flew out from Jackson, MS, and stayed the previous night with the Storms (family name...9 kids...crazy big house) in that area.
Don't remember much from this trip, as most memories have slipped on by. We had a very short walk to the beach from our hotel. I tried to order McDonalds in spanish, and I think the lady just told me to give it up. "Tomo un numero uno y un cherry pieyo". Me and Magan roomed with Transito and Marcia (Storm...#3 of 9). Don't remember a thing about the conference, but it was great getting to visit old San Juan. We also skipped the Bacardi factory tour for the El Youngue rainforest, which was OK.
The Pool at the hotel was pretty great, and had fun with friends from college. And...I am 100% positive I did not take the picture of the long blonde haired, bare chested Frisbee guy. I don't remember his name right now, but he was super cool...back to the picture...that was not me...so surely it was not..."Magan, Magan, do you remember taking this picture". Just a small giggle from her at her computer when she is confronted with this 15 years later. Hmmm.... Anyway, a fun trip. Lots of virgin pina colodas, and fried bananas seem to make the memory bucket.
